ABSTRACT:
A case mounting mechanism for use on a pneumatic device such as a filter, a lubricator, or the like includes a plurality of first ridges projecting inwardly from an edge of an annular groove defined in a body, each of the first ridges having a recess, and a plurality of second ridges projecting outwardly from a peripheral edge of a case guard and each having a projection. The case guard surrounding a case is mounted on the body by engagement between the first and second ridges with the projection on each second ridge engaging in the recess of each first ridge. The case is of a cylindrical shape having a ridge projecting axially outwardly from a terminal end thereof and defining a fluid passage therein. The case guard fitted over the cylindrical case has a hole defined in a terminal end thereof. The case and the case guard are combined together with the ridge on the terminal end of the case being fitted in the hole, and have peripheral edges detachably fitted in the annular groove of the body.
